I'll be going to Sanibel Island, Florida tomorrow at 7 AM EST. It's almost a week of tropical plants, sun and sand, clear water, and shells! There aren't many bananas on the island, so I don't think I'll be bringing any back, unfortunately. If you all know of any (besides the stand of Orinoco at Jerry's Foods), let me know asap! Will definitely be shipping myself a big flat rate box of palm seeds/seedlings, shells, and other tropicals. If anybody wants anything in particular (relating to nature) just send me a PM. I'll do my best. I might be able to stop by the site some, but this is my official announcement so nobody thinks I am hurt or ill.
I hope to post some pictures when I get back!

A few of the nights I really had a backache from doing the Sanibel Stoop! I found a lot of good shells though, all in the mail currently on their way here. I only brought back 2 Air plants- don't know the name. I have a lot of the palms and stuff they grow there, and everything else I wanted would have been too big to take or I never had the chance.
I never even saw an alligator, Patty! Unfortunately.... but I did have a great time.

Oh man, that pic brings back some great memories. Haven't been on a vacation since 2000. Always went to the Caribbean somewhere for the diving at a Club Med....St. Lucia, Eleuthera, Martinique, etc., etc. Met a lot of great folks, some of whom I still am in touch with even now.

Welcome back, Taylor! Air plants are typically the genus Tillandsia.
